Still can't believe how Frank was able to pull off these cons but it is so fun to read about. 
Frank is literally the definition of "fake it till you make it" - the fact he so casually and confidently was able to tell lies like how he's a Pan Am pilot, pediatrician, law student, etc is insane. Also, the way he finessed the checking/bank system -- wild.

Fascinating HOWEVER a lot of in depth explanations of cashing checks and how Frank managed to thwart the system so perfectly, which is satisfying to understand but also, as a teenager with little interest in the matter, a bit of a hike. Humorous, witty, surprising. He’s a character, and I can’t believe such an adventurous story exists in our world

I found this book thoroughly entertaining! I know that there are accusations of exaggeration, but honestly, it didn't ruin the experience for me. It was a wild ride from start to finish, and it was such a fun book to read for the most part!

Frank Abagnale was one of the most daring con men, forgers, impostors, and escape artists in history.
